The Perth Mint was completed in 1899 as the third mint, following the Sydney and Melbourne mints, in the Royal London Mint system. The facilities were established by Great Britain when Australia was a colony to help process and refine the gold, silver, and other precious metals discovered on the continent during the 19th and 20th centuries. Today, the Perth Mint is the lone facility still in operation and is responsible for producing all circulation and commemorative coins for the Australian government.
